"So what are you going to do?", Eleven asked Michael as the two sat at the new ice cream store that just opened downtown.
"I don't know. I don't want to go back to rehab. But I think I might have to."
El placed her hand on Michael's and looked into his eyes, "Whatever you decide on, I'm here for you, Mike.", she said with a warm smile, almost making the young boy fall in love all over again.
Michael returned the smile and looked towards the large windows, knowing what he was going to do.
After quite a while of driving, El and Mike arrived outside the same rehabilitation centre the Wheeler's only son went to a few months ago.
The two got our the car, a small distance away.Michael looked towards the building for a moment before turning around to face Eleven.
"El, I don't want you to wait for me. Don't worry about me. You should live your life.""Mike, I want to wait for you."
"You spent the first 12 years of your life hidden away from the real world and know your out, I want you to enjoy it."
"I enjoy life with you. So if I have to wait, I'll wait.
"..Fine. Let's keep this just between us for a while."
"Sure."
"And apologize to Lucas for me?"
"Of course.", the young girl immediately went in for a hug, a tight one and stayed there before letting go, Michael noticing the tears in her eyes as she looked down.
"El..are you crying?"
"Maybe.", she said as she sniffled.
"It's only for a few weeks."
"I know."
"I'll be back in no time."
"I know."
"There's no need to-"
"I love you, Michael."
"What?"
"I love you Michael Wheeler.", Eleven replied as she looked up. "I'm not perfect so I understand if you don't love me back but I'd follow you anywhere, even to hell if that's what it takes. So I'll wait, I'll wait however long you need me to and-"
Mike suddenly felt a rush of euphoria run through him and the urge to do something almost anything to let El know he felt the exact same way.
He pressed his lips against Eleven's, the tension around them now finding its place somewhere else."I love you too."
The 16-year-old girl blushed and looked back down, a large grin from ear to ear.
"I guess I'll see you in a few weeks?"
"Um, y-yeah, see you in a few weeks."
"Good luck on your audition tomorrow."
"Oh yeah my audition..wait, my audition?", Eleven quickly snapped out of her shyness and said her last goodbye before rushing back to the car and driving home. She had completely forgotten about her audition.
"Bye..I love you."

Finally, the day Eleven had been waiting for had came. She was excited but at the same time nervous and also dread to stand outside the small building where auditions for something she knew nothing about were being held.
Actually, she had just finished the whole process and was questioning what she was doing outside.
She went from optimistic to pessimistic and continued that way as if her mind was a rollercoaster.
Though she knew she wouldn't get results right away, Eleven spent the next few nights waiting for one thing, anything to tell if she got a part or not.
